ADB Structure

The Australian Dictionary of Biography is a national, co-operative enterprise, founded and maintained by the Australian National University. The project is headed by the General Editor, based at the ANU, and an Editorial Board, which discuss matters of general policy. ADB Working Parties draw up lists of individuals selected for inclusion in the ADB and give advice on appropriate authors. The General Editor then commissions the entries. Section editors, drawn from each of the Working Parties, and Editorial Fellows, who are eminent academic historians, read and review all entries.
